Chapter 1333 - 1335
Zhao Guangran calculated the time to return home, hoping at least that Gong Ruini wouldn’t think about the afternoon’s events.
Little did he expect to be greeted by a "three tribunals."
The setup thoroughly startled Zhao Guangran. He looked around and noticed that their parents weren’t home.
"Are Dad and Mom out on a date?" Zhao Guangran recalled how, a few days ago, his dad unexpectedly took his mom for a walk nearby and even out for dinner, really wanting to say that old people can really have fun.
"Yeah, I booked them a nice restaurant and sent them shopping." Zhao Xuran bluntly told Zhao Guangran that there weren’t any adults home.
Ha, how come everyone went out, what’s going on, Zhao Guangran felt that this was definitely unusual.
Bear in mind, last time dad took mom out for dinner, they came back constantly complaining, saying the food was expensive and didn’t even taste good.
"Would they really be willing to eat out?" Zhao Guangran laughed twice before intending to return to his study to deal with matters.
"Let’s talk about the nightclub incident." Zhao Xuran wasn’t going to let Zhao Guangran escape.
Why is it the nightclub again? How is this still not over? Zhao Guangran really felt like kneeling before his eldest brother.
"I never intended to take Ni Zi to the nightclub." It’s not like he’s out of his mind, why would he agree to take Gong Ruini to a nightclub.
Even taking the twins to a nightclub would be better than taking Gong Ruini.
"You didn’t intend to?" Zhao Xuran was almost furious enough to explode at Zhao Guangran.
It’s not like he doesn’t know this kid goes out to have fun, he also understands that sometimes he plays pretty wildly, knowing it’s his way of relieving pressure.
Younger brother has grown up, as an elder brother, he can’t constrain this kid like when they were young.
Unexpectedly, with just a turn, he spoke to Gong Ruini; doesn’t he know Ni Zi is also a very curious person?
If it weren’t for a fortunate coincidence this time, Zhao Xuran felt that Gong Ruini would definitely have urged Zhao Guangran to take her to the nightclub.
"I promise I really didn’t." Zhao Guangran wasn’t foolish, at this moment he couldn’t admit it, especially since he genuinely hadn’t thought about it.
"It was Ni Zi’s curiosity, I told her it’s not fun." Zhao Guangran quickly shifted the focus onto Gong Ruini.
"Bro, I really said a lot today to dispel Ni Zi’s ideas, otherwise I wouldn’t have slipped away. Right, why else was he wandering around for so long, if not because someone was watching him from behind?
Oh, how did this become her problem again, Gong Ruini expressed her displeasure, "Oh, it was you who said how fun the bar is."
"You said you met lots of people there."
"You said it’s a chance to network." Hmph, since someone was so unkind to sell out a person, Gong Ruini wasn’t going to help Zhao Guangran hide things.
Isn’t this mutual harm, who is afraid of whom?
"Meeting many people?"
"A chance to network?" Although Zhao Xuran had never been to a bar, he knew after Zhao Guangran had such thoughts, he talked to Dai Liren quite a bit.
Even though they weren’t in the same school, Dai Liren knew a lot, including which bars Zhao Guangran frequented.
"Can you tell me, in those noisy places where you have to raise your voice to the max to speak, how do you discuss things? Explain it to me."
"And what kind of people can you meet in a bar? Explain it to me."
"This, this." Zhao Xuran’s expression went long and severe, enough to intimidate Zhao Guangran thoroughly.
Of course, Zhao Guangran knew the bars he went to were only meant to be playful, it’s impossible to discuss serious matters there.
"Actually, some people like there, they after all have the intention, when they suggest it, I can’t not go." Zhao Guangran cried out with grievance.
"I don’t like it either, I told Ni Zi, going to the bar once really hurts the brain."
"Bro, you have to believe me, I’m telling the truth." Zhao Guangran looked straight at Zhao Xuran without any flickers in his eyes.
After all, what he said was true, there was no need to evade.
"Bro, aren’t you planning to study in New York, you can keep an eye on me." This was Zhao Guangran’s biggest reassurance.
No matter how beautiful the promises are, they can’t compare to taking real action.
"Remember what you said." Zhao Xuran stared at Zhao Guangran for a long time before slightly relaxing a bit.
Exhaling with relief as Zhao Xuran’s imposing manner receded, Zhao Guangran also let out a long breath.
These years, Zhao Guangran had been striving, not aiming to be more excellent than his elder brother but at least not so easily overwhelmed by him.
Unexpectedly, though he was progressing rapidly, his elder brother was progressing even faster.
This realization made Zhao Guangran, who once thought he was much better than Gong Ruini, hold back his lofty ambitions.
"Bro, looks like you’re getting along well with the northern side." At this point, Zhao Guangran recalled some rumors he had heard earlier.
Though he heard some rumors, he could only listen, no matter how tempted he couldn’t take any action.
The plateau is vast, future earnings would be plenty, it’s safe to say the rewards are substantial, but there’s no opportunity for a small fry like him to partake.
However, now everything seemed unknown, depending on his elder brother’s side.
This topic jumped extraordinarily quickly; as Zhao Xuran’s demeanor softened, not only did Zhao Guangran breathe easier, Gong Ruini also relaxed.
She really didn’t expect a casual remark to drag her into this mess, sigh, she regretted it, though she had thought about wanting to go to a bar to see the world.
However, she imagined going to the bar with Zhao Xuran, of course, with the care of the local Zhao Guangran.
Yet, alas, Zhao Xuran didn’t listen to her explanation. Fortunately, in the end, it was fine, in any case, Gong Ruini expressed she wouldn’t be remotely curious about bars for at least a few years.
However, this topic that Zhao Guangran touched really rang far, though the family was cooperating with the northern side, the cooperation was good, and they’ve made a lot of money, but Zhao Guangran had never cared before.
Now, why was Zhao Guangran suddenly so invested, could it be he heard something stirring?
But wasn’t this plan supposed to be executed meticulously, only those big players involved, after all, it wasn’t just about sweeping through a certain country’s economy, but also intending to subvert that political party.
"The cooperation is alright." Zhao Xuran didn’t quite understand why Zhao Guangran would ask like this, "Do you have some ideas?"
"The profit is decent, but it shouldn’t be what you’re interested in." The business from the northern side’s profit, though it tempted Zhao Xuran quite a bit.
It could be said that at least 40% of the annual profit was contributed by that side, but such a small profit shouldn’t catch Zhao Guangran’s eye.
Since getting involved in finance, Zhao Guangran had never changed his mind from constantly churning in the financial market, looking like he was sprinting down this path.
"You’re not planning to get involved, are you?" Zhao Xuran joked, "Actually, American goods are quite popular over there too."
"Some of Xiao Zhi and their purchasing agency’s goods are directly sold over there." Though the profit isn’t great, they’ve at least made a lot of high-level acquaintances.
This way, doing business became much more convenient, and the volume of sales kept setting new records.
"Thanks to them, our products are already being sold in Moscow."
